2019 Bangkok bombings

The 2019 Bangkok bombings occurred on the morning of 2 April 2019 when several small "ping-pong" bombs went off in Bangkok, Thailand during the morning rush hour, injuring 4 people. The bombings occurred during a meeting of the foreign ministers of the ASEAN countries, including US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. One bomb exploded in the Suanluang district, not far from the airport, and two more went off at a Skytrain station in the Silom district. The police were able to locate and defuse other bombs before they exploded, preventing further injuries. Two Muslim men were arrested in connection with the bombings, which were probably linked to the ongoing South Thailand insurgency.
